Google makes us see it in all colors

Last updated on 28 May 2018

There is no doubt that we have reason to be wary of the giant Google and the place that this great company takes in our digital lives. Nevertheless, it remains the ‘monster’ capable of producing powerful tools and some absolutely incredible nuggets such as:Art Palette. A tool that will make you see it in all colors.

I have already spoken to you here about the Arts and Culture Platform proposed by the giant of Mountain View. Google has digitised thousands of works of art from the collections of hundreds of museums around the world to make them accessible in high definition to as many people as possible. That's great. It is from this huge collection of digital data that Google is experimenting with new algorithms. This is the case with Art Palette.

Google analysed the colour palette of tens of thousands of works on its servers. All possible colours and shades present in the masterpieces of the greatest artists. This will allow you todisplay works of art based not on an era or an artist but on a colour. Surprising.

You will be able to admire links between very different works only through the colors that compose them. For each work presented, Google displays a color palette that composes it. By clicking on one of the shades of this palette, you will see almost instantly other works using this colour as dominant.

The power of the Californian giant's servers does wonders. The display is smooth and fast. You're gonna get a lot of crumbs.

For the anecdote Google offers an option that allows the colorimetry of any image to be analysed. On the Art Palette homepage, you can upload an image or photo from your computer. Google will analyse it and in a few seconds display the artworks on its servers that share the same shades of colour. Playful.

An amazing tool for art students, but beyond that for all art lovers in general.

Art Palette is free and ad-free.
